Photovoltaic Integration in Cold Storage Warehouse: Performance and Economic Viability
The study covers the impact of PV assisted electrical feed for a typical cold store. The cooling load and electrical demand of the warehouse are derived and used as base case. On-grid and hybrid PV system configurations are proposed, and updated energy requirements are obtained for various system sizes. CAPEX and OPEX of each system are integrated in an LCCA which showed the best performance and economics of the systems in the following order: Hybrid, On-Grid, and No PV.
